Album of the Week: Rahaan – The Ones (BBE Music)

 

New from the Chicago DJ and producer Rahaan Young.

 

 

 

The Ones is a superbly crafted, ten-track document of soul, funk, house, and disco excellence that features vocalists Marcus J. Austin, Spike Rebel, and Nancy Clayton, in addition to live instrumentation from Carnell Newbill, Todd Swope, and horns from Kenny Anderson of the legendary Ohio Players.

 

 

Here’s my favorite song from the release.
